When staying in the Dallas/Fort Worth area, you need a great place to base yourself. A place that’s not crazy-busy. A place that’s simple to get in and out of. And a place that exudes Texas charm. Denton, Texas is all those things. Here’s why you need to base yourself in this charming Texas city.

Denton has a new kid in town: The Denton Embassy Suites and Convention Center and it’s gorgeous! As described to me, this is NOT your Mama’s “Embassy Suites”. Indeed it is not. It was soooo much more! Check out my review of this amazing stay.

Many have wondered – and asked – what’s in my bag for my indefinite worldwide solo trek. I have to admit, it took me a while to work out what to pack and I continue to tweak it. I’ve learned a lot along the way.
